Behind The Board – Behind The Camera (For a Moment)

Well. Our partner in Focus in Digital had been booked to a prior engagement leaving BNK Pro on their own for photography last weekend at the NEXT Charity Concert Series. Such a shame too! We had My Pet Dragon at the Captain Lawrence Brewery! My Pet Dragon are another of the great Brooklyn bands. They’re strong performers with simple but anthemic songs. This night was an incredible night from them in such a cool setting. It’s always good to hear them live. Especially as their song Moonshine is an excellent live song! Simple but full of energy!

On the production side, when we arrived to set up for the show, the staff at Captain Lawrence Brewery had already set up the stage. They had some great ideas and jumped on them. They took stacks of pallets and placed them in 3 rows to form a nice sized stage that looked like it belonged in a brewery! Sound was very good up front, but noticeably echoing as you moved back from the stage as is expected. There are brewing silos and lots of bottles in this building. There is also plenty of room to dance and move around so, its fine being up front!

But as mentioned, no photographs from our pro! We had to take our own with our phones! Fortunately today’s phones take better pics than they used to, but these are not going to be the usual quality you are used to on this site.

Overall, this show was another successful event as we fine tune how to party in a brewery! NEXT Music has continuously brought fantastic music with a fun party atmosphere to the Westchester area and this was a perfect example. Please check out the links below and peak at the people involved.
